1/2 a bag will cover up to 5,000 gal & is still safe for a 3800 gal pool; use 1/2 a bag about every 4 to 6 days. Shock will clear the green but may not clear the cloudiness if you wait too long, but the water should still be safe to swim in; have your water tested by your pool professional at least once a week, it's usually free.

If directions say to put one pound of Shock for every 12000 gallons but your pool is only a few thousand gallons how do you know how much to add?

measuring pool shock treamentif its 1lb for 12,000 gallons than half of that would be 1/2 lb for 6000 gallons. 1/4 lb. for 3000 gallons. I would use a little less than 1/4 lb. of Shock.Maybe get a 1/4lb. and separate it into 3 equal parts. Then just use 2 parts for your 2000gallons pool.
